Does boxing have fatalities? Becuase that might be a deal breaker.

Did anyone else notice that Jeff's ranking in Super Basketball said "113rd" at one point? How do you pronounce that exactly?

With the money Jeff has spent on Game Room he could have gotten at least one actual arcade cabinet of either Ultimate MK3 or Smash TV.. or possibly both.  Just let that sink in.

Just stop the Game Room Quick Looks. It's just a waste of your money. One of Microsofts many useless ideas. 1000 games in 3 years. hahahaha

A game of broken concentration. Even if it's a complete waste, the  Game Room Quick Looks are comedy gold and much appreciated feature!

Seeing these Game Room quick looks makes me never want to play these again.  I am completely satisfied with just my memories for many of these titles.  Plus, the no paddle controller on some of these games just makes them even less fun that they might have been 2 decades ago.  
 
Keep bringing us more Game Room videos.  I'm loving the level of disappointment Jeff is mired in.  It's like Ryan towards the end of the first season of TANG.

Games for 9-8 will be Bridge(Activision), Hard Hat(INTV), Reversi(INTV), Thunder Castle(INTV) and Video Chess(Atari 2600).  Games for 9-15 are two Konami arcade games, Kitten Kaboodle and Flak Attack(aka MX 5000).

So at this point, for those of you who use Game Room (if any), what games ARE worth getting on the service?  Are there any?  If there are some good games not available on Virtual Console, I might take a look at the PC game room versions.

@nmarchan:
I play game room now and then. It's a pure nostalgia thing, if you have no fond memories of the titles they put out then you are in for nothing but disappointment. If you do have fond memories, brace yourself and repeat this in your head "This game was fun when I played it 15+ years ago when I was 8, it's not going to be as good as I remember it" atleast thats what I do. 
The only games I've had anything close to fun playing in game room would be Pitfall, Centipede/Millipede, Missile Command and Asteroids.

Man. Game Room and these Quick Looks started as a nifty way for me to look at a piece of game history that I'm largely unfamiliar with. Now however the games all seem horrible and the only redeeming value is watching you suffer through it. And that is quickly becoming more and more uncomfortable to watch.
What a shame.
